The 2011 U.S. Open will mark the first time the championship has been played in the Washington, D.C., area in 14 years and the third time that Congressional Country Club has hosted the national championship. Ken Venturi won the 1964 U.S. Open by four strokes over Tommy Jacobs, and Ernie Els won the 1997 championship by one stroke over Colin Montgomerie.
The U.S. Open has sold out for 24 consecutive years.
